[net-next,00/17] splice, net: Switch over users of sendpage() and remove it

Message

David Howells June 16, 2023, 4:12 p.m. UTC

Here's the final set of patches towards the removal of sendpage.  All the
drivers that use sendpage() get switched over to using sendmsg() with
MSG_SPLICE_PAGES.

skb_splice_from_iter() is given the facility to copy slab data() into
fragments - or to coalesce them (in future) with other unspliced buffers in
the target skbuff.  This means that the caller can work the same way, no
matter whether MSG_SPLICE_PAGES is supplied or not and no matter if the
protocol just ignores it.  If MSG_SPLICE_PAGES is not supplied or if it is
just ignored, the data will get copied as normal rather than being spliced.

For the moment, skb_splice_from_iter() is equipped with its own fragment
allocator - one that has percpu pages to allocate from to deal with
parallel callers but that can also drop the percpu lock around calling the
page allocator.

The following changes are made:

 (1) Introduce an SMP-safe shared fragment allocator and make
     skb_splice_from_iter() use it.  The allocator is exported so that
     ocfs2 can use it.

     This now doesn't alter the existing page_frag_cache allocator.

 (2) Expose information from the allocator in /proc/.  This is useful for
     debugging it, but could be dropped.

 (3) Make the protocol drivers behave according to MSG_MORE, not
     MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST.  The latter is restricted to turning on MSG_MORE
     in the sendpage() wrappers.

 (4) Make siw, ceph/rds, skb_send_sock, dlm, nvme, smc, ocfs2, drbd and
     iscsi use sendmsg(), not sendpage and make them specify MSG_MORE
     instead of MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST.

     ocfs2 now allocates fragments for a couple of cases where it would
     otherwise pass in a pointer to shared data that doesn't seem to
     sufficient locking.

 (5) Make drbd coalesce its entire message into a single sendmsg().

 (6) Kill off sendpage and clean up MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST.

I've pushed the patches here also:
